Biomass-derived activated carbon with simultaneously enhanced CO2 uptake for both pre and post combustion capture applications (2015)
Journal Article
Coromina, H. M., Walsh, D. A., & Mokaya, R. (2015). Biomass-derived activated carbon with simultaneously enhanced CO2 uptake for both pre and post combustion capture applications. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 4(1), https://doi.org/10.1039/C5TA09202G

We report on the synthesis and CO2 uptake capabilities of a series of activated carbons derived from biomass raw materials, Jujun grass and Camellia japonica. The carbons were prepared via hydrothermal carbonization of the raw materials, which yielde...

Hygrothermal simulation-informed design of mesoporous desiccants for optimised energy efficiency of mixed mode air conditioning systems (2015)
Journal Article
Sarce Thomann, F., Hall, M. R., Mokaya, R., & Stevens, L. A. (2015). Hygrothermal simulation-informed design of mesoporous desiccants for optimised energy efficiency of mixed mode air conditioning systems. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 3(33), 17290-17303. https://doi.org/10.1039/c5ta05162b

© The Royal Society of Chemistry. This paper describes an optimization technique using hygrothermal numerical modelling to determine an ideal and unknown isotherm in order to inform the design of optimised mesoporous desiccants. Their suitability for... Read More about Hygrothermal simulation-informed design of mesoporous desiccants for optimised energy efficiency of mixed mode air conditioning systems.

A hygrothermal modelling approach to water vapour sorption isotherm design for mesoporous humidity buffers (2015)
Journal Article
Sarce, F., Hall, M. R., Sangchoom, W., & Mokaya, R. (in press). A hygrothermal modelling approach to water vapour sorption isotherm design for mesoporous humidity buffers. Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, 211, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.micromeso.2015.03.001

This paper describes the development of a design technique using hygrothermal numerical modelling for top-down predictive design and optimisation of water vapour sorption isotherms to match any humidity buffering application. This was used to inform... Read More about A hygrothermal modelling approach to water vapour sorption isotherm design for mesoporous humidity buffers.
